Nope. I don’t talk about myself like that.
We’re already significantly short on judges. Requiring judges in triplicate would have some crazy side effects. Court cases currently take too long to resolve due to the shortage. The entire system would grind to a literal standstill.
Yeah, while I understand and agree with the sentiment… If you have 300 people and on average somebody gets sick once a year for 2 days… You’re going to have to hit some lotto style stats that they all don’t lineup together to get a clear day of 100% attendance. Now realize that normal is 2-4 times a year… not just once. It’s hard to corral that many people and get them all in on the same day available without some sort of conflict, sick days alone. Forget all the other stuff, birthdays, births, funerals, etc…
The USA is also significantly bigger than every single one of those “comparable” countries. Actually bigger (population, size, really just about any size metric possible) than all of them combined. It’s a bit disingenuous to clump all of the USA together. Which fuels and proves my point about outsiders not understanding the USA.
The range in “comparable” countries is also about 4 years… Why do you think that is? I mean the countries are basically right next to each other like states are here… yet for some reason despite sharing a border Switzerland and Germany have a 4.1 year difference in male life expectancy.
I’m willing to bet money that different parts of the US, possibly even on a state by state or even region by region location would have wildly varying life expectancy than is being insinuated with a single monolithic number for “the USA”… Just like the EU countries listed here…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_life_expectancy
Turns out that is wildly true… The top 30 states all compete with the numbers given and fall within the ranges between Germany and Switzerland given in the charts in your link.
Edit:
If you drill down to counties… which is at the very bottom of the wiki article. You can see even more disparity. And the only reason I bring this up is that some counties in the USA are bigger than entire as countries in the EU. https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/largest-counties-in-the-united-states-by-total-area.html
There is issues with getting infrastructure EVERYWHERE when the country is just so damn big and sparse.
Edit2: I should clarify that I don’t doubt that the EU overall is better off… Mostly because being fat is a huge problem in the USA that is much less prevalent than the EU overall. But just clumping shit willy nilly is exactly what I was referencing… Mississippi vs California is a world of difference.
Most Europeans have a poor understanding of what the USA looks like as well… Turns out that most people have no idea what most of the rest of the world looks like! This could even mean inside of their own country! The USA is quite large and very much varied.
Instead of teaching the subject in class and then assign practice for home, we should be learn the subject at home and so the practice in class.
Then you get students who get mad because they’re “teaching themselves”. Not realizing at all that the teacher curated what they’re reading/doing and is an SME that’s available to them when they’re completely lost.
There’s also Wix for very simple page builds.
Your in self hosting community… You can’t build in Wix and selfhost. Wix relies on their infrastructure always being present.
I currently live in the US… so it’s not directly come up for me. But it’s something I’ve been looking into here and there because I am interested in buying property and working in my other country. Part of that is driven by my desire to interact with the majority of my family more.
My understanding is that there are firms that do it. It’s the same process as most other taxes though except you can claim a couple other forms and need to declare a few additional items. I tend to do my own taxes now and get by just fine, a couple extra forms I’d likely just hire a firm to do them 1 or 2 times and use that as reference for the future personally. Taxes in general is pretty easy for most people as long as you have a reference/guide and don’t do weird stuff IMO.
For renouncement I think you only have to show that you’ve filed taxes for the past 5 years… and as long as you’re not some uber wealthy person there isn’t an expat cost (I think it’s like 800k on all assets? or something like that). The fee was something like $2k as well. It’s not a crazy hard process to my understanding, but I could be missing a part.
This isn’t quite true. You pay the difference of whatever local tax would cover. And foreign earned income exclusion is massive…(https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/foreign-earned-income-exclusion)… So even if you make 200k, you can exclude ~120k of it, and then the remaining 80k would have your local taxes deducted from it as well. You end up finding out that most people pay virtually nothing.
And if you don’t intend on returning to the USA at all, there’s not a lot of enforcement that can happen. The worst effect is that you can’t renew your passport at a consulate from what I’ve seen.
I’m a dual citizen so I end up researching these weird topics a lot…
If your neighbour can also get symmetrical internet with a residential contract, then that would be the better example to prove his point wrong.
Sure, but I don’t get their bill now do I?
A business contract is not a good comparison because they usually are symmetrical for a premium price regardless of the quality of the residential internet in your area.
Which was the point of me bringing it up… my price is likely higher than my neighbor. But I know that the same speeds are available. Symmetric.
Once again though… Without more information we can’t actually compare but at face value… I pay 5.89 times for for presumably 8-80 times more speed. EVEN ON MY BUSINESS CONTRACT. Hard to say that their service is categorically better than mine…
He provided details about his non-business internet being symmetrical and YOU compared it to your business contract line, that’s literally how it started.
To my residential house… of which my neighbor can get the same service, under a residential contract. Also they didn’t say if their internet was residential or not.
The cost is to prove that Americans do not have easy access to the same level of internet his country has, which is his main point. You needed to purchase a business line to have it symmetrical, which is not accessible to the everyone.
No. My neighbor can also get 8/8, under a different SLA as residential. I only provided “under business contract” because that changes the price.
Just because you can pay 100 times the cost of healthcare in European countries to get high quality heathcare in America, it doesn’t mean the average American can afford to go to the hospital or that your healthcare system is just as good. The same thing applies to your internet.
You’re not making a good look for your stance when you over hyperbolize the situation. I pay 5.89 times more… for what could be 8-80 times more speed. We don’t know because THERE IS NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION.
There are. You have to apply for them. Which it’s also entirely possible that the mother is currently doing.
You need to scroll up and pay attention.
Them:
My ISP offers symmetrical […] glad I’m not American
Me:
As someone living in America, I have great internet
Them:
<Requests direct information about cost>
Me:
<I oblige>
Them:
<makes a comparison without qualifying anything about the comparison, claiming theirs to be superior>
Me:
<calls it out>
They provided no details at all… this whole engagement. We still don’t actually know what speeds they even get for their mere 28USD. Could be 100mbps and it would be significantly worse by ever metric than my 8gbps. I can’t compare my service to something that we have no details for.

Indeed. If you read the actual response… no deportation occurred for the 2 year old.
From the petitioner’s council:
The officer overheard and said that V.M.L. would not be deported and explained that V.M.L.’s mother and sister had deportation orders.
From ICE:
Should her mother decide to allow Petitioner Mack and the purported father to take custody of V.M.L., V.M.L. is not prohibited from entering the United States.
The claim is that the father didn’t identify himself (likely because of his own immigration status), so they couldn’t release child to him. Since he didn’t want to identify himself, any claim that the mother wanted to take the child with her must be held, no “friend” can take custody at that point. The only identified parent isn’t consenting.
It looks like there was an exhibit referenced in the ICE response document. That exhibit is likely the letter they reference that the mother wrote.
It’s a shit situation… It’s not good in the slightest, but it isn’t “American Citizen deported”.
Mother can easily state that she would like to give custody to the petitioning “friend” and V.M.L. can return.
Are you okay?
I didn’t compare mine to yours at all. You’re the one that said your 28 USD service was a better deal. YOU made the comparison. YOU asked for the details.
Yup the old one… here’s the new one too… still unaddressed
Not without additional context it’s not… Is your service 8gbps? Do you have SLAs in place? Will your ISP send you hate mail after using a mere 10TB of data?
And yet most people will just type “facebook” into the omnibar in their browser and click the first result that google gives them.
Yes… A LOT, and I do mean a significantly plurality… have no fucking clue what a URL is.
Last time someone was worried about the security it was about knowing filenames of the stuff you host by brute forcing iirc
Knowing (guessing) the file path allows them to access and stream the content. Meaning worst case scenario… Sony (the people known for putting malicious stuff on CDs) can probe your server, and prove the content is there because your server will return the movie file itself.

Looks like the Ryzen Pro line supports it… but the Ryzen line does not.
